Bergara Wilderness Ridge 18"? #18923193 11/12/23 Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 43,884 Likes: 6 Hi-Line SamOlson OP Campfire 'Bwana OP SamOlson Campfire 'Bwana Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 43,884 Likes: 6 Hi-Line I see a few threads on Bergara's and got to wondering what the general consensus is regarding these rifles and this particular model? They get decent enough reviews that I might order one in 6.5 Creedmoor for a suppressed coyote/deer rifle. https://www.bergara.online/us/rifles/b14wilderness/wilderness-ridge-rifle/ Yes, no, maybe? Thanks.

Both are very good shooters and I like their shorter overall length and fast handling.

The price on these things isn't that bad, I see they are on gunbroker for around $800-900.

Calvin, lucky for me the woman does not give a damn! Side note, I started the suppressor process last January and called the store today. He said it hasn't been completed and that it's taking up to 11 months for some people.
